Installing a client in an existing home puts you in a precarious position
at best with Oracle Support.

Our ERP system is done in COBOL. It was a package purchased many years ago
but we own the source code and have completely redone it over the years. It
is a totally custom ERP system. The COBOL developers range from 20-39 years
old, granted they were all hired from within and trained into that
position. However we have begun to work on moving this ERP system into
APEX.

I just have to ask, sorry - COBOL? Is there much COBOL there or this is
just one of the remaining remnant applications? And is new COBOL
development ongoing? And the developers, what age range?
I do a lot of contract work in banks and although I’ve heard rumours
there is COBOL in the wild, I have never met one of these developers.
Especially Pro*COBOL.
Decades back I used to develop in Cics and RM/COBOL. As I write, that was
decades back. I have not seen COBOL on the (UK) contract job boards for
years either.

I was wondering the same thing. In 12.1.0.2, the Oracle Homes are
slightly different, though. I have to make sure that the Pro*COBOL
precompiler is there, as the application is written in COBOL.
In looking at the inventory on the special Oracle Home that I built in
2016 that includes the client, the comps.xml file is different in that it
includes the client install in addition to the base install.
The problem is that I can’t just take a chance that it will work.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but isn’t the client already a part of the
database software?

We have an application that needs to have the Oracle client installed in
the same Oracle Home as the database software. Somehow, I managed to do it
with Oracle 12.1.0.2, but the client installer for Oracle 12.2.0.1 won’t
let me. It says there’s already Oracle software in that home and won’t let
me move on.
How do I do this?
This is Oracle 12.2.0.1 on Red Hat 7 Linux.
